Have you ever wished you could rent a date like you rent a tux? Or maybe conjure up a fake fiancé faster than you can say "fruitcake"? Well, in the wacky world of TV movies, it's all possible! In Episode 17 of Love on the Pod, we're diving headfirst into the wonderful world of fake relationships. We'll be dissecting those heartwarming holiday hoaxes where love blossoms amidst a blizzard of lies. From "The Mistletoe Promise" to "Hitched for the Holidays," we're unwrapping the secrets behind these festive fibs. Will true love conquer all, or will these couples get caught in their own tangled tinsel? Tune in to find out!
Now, maybe I'm overly optimistic, but the idea of needing a plus-one for a party is about as appealing as finding a lump of coal in my stocking. Solo is the way to go, my friends! Think about it: no awkward small talk, no sharing your dessert, and the freedom to make a graceful exit whenever the eggnog starts flowing a bit too freely. Plus, who wouldn't want to be the legendary aunt who cracks jokes at the kids' table that make the adults blush? Of course, I've been happily hitched for ages, so the "plus one" dilemma is ancient history. But prepping for Episode 17 of Love on the Pod got me thinking: are there hidden perks to flying solo that even those cheesy holiday movies are missing? Turns out, there are plenty of things that are just as fun – dare I say, more fun – when you're doing them on your own.
Okay, so maybe mistletoe and caroling duets aren't in the cards this year. But hey, who needs a plus-one when you've got holiday spirit galore? Whether your crew is busy, your family's booked solid, or you're just rocking the solo life like a boss, don't let that dampen your festive cheer! Here's a list of fabulously fun solo activities to jingle your bells and get you in the mood for all things merry and bright.
Ultimate Holiday Movie Marathon: Curl up in your coziest PJs, build a fort out of blankets and pillows, and binge-watch all those cheesy holiday movies without anyone judging you. Bonus points for singing along at the top of your lungs!
DIY Holiday Decorations Extravaganza: Unleash your inner Martha Stewart and go all out with holiday decorations. No need to compromise on your vision or worry about someone else's "helpful" suggestions.

Volunteer Your Time: Spread some holiday cheer by volunteering at a local soup kitchen, shelter, or gift drive. It's a wonderful way to connect with your community and make a difference during the holidays.
Holiday Craft-a-thon: Get your creative juices flowing with a solo crafting session. Make personalized ornaments, hand-painted cards, or unique gifts for your loved ones.
